Academics

Ingraham High School Mission Statement
To empower Multi-Ethnic Urban Youth to participate fully in post high school training, the world of work and society, in order to become productive and responsible citizens in our local and global community.

Alternate learning programs at Ingraham High School include:

Academy of Information Technology (AOIT)

A small learning community, comprising a group of students within the larger high school who take classes together for at least half the school day, taught by a team of teachers from different disciplines. A career academy member of both the National Academy Foundation and the Career Academy Support Network, AOIT provides a college preparatory curriculum with an Information Technology career theme, enabling students to see relationships among academic subjects and their application to a broad field of work. Partnerships with employers, the community, and local colleges bring resources from outside the high school to improve student motivation and achievement.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

The International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous pre-college course of study for the highly motivated high school student. Established in 1967, the prestigious IB Program has grown to include over 1000 schools in more than 100 countries. The program offered by Ingraham High School is one of only 14 in the state of Washington.

Community Based Training (CBT)

The goal of Ingraham’s Community Based Training program is to prepare students with disabilities for life after high school. We hope to give students a wide range of real-world experiences, vocational instruction, and social skills training. Each day we gently but persistently push our students towards independence, and we ultimately hope that every student in our department will leave Ingraham with an elevated sense of self-worth and an ability to determine their own future through self-advocacy.
